...and then you figure out that they rated it at 500hp GROSS with no accessories but the water-pump and when you take your superawesomeveryfast 370Z out and roll up at the light and get your *** handed to you by a stock Mustang 5.0 BOSS and you cry and curse and hate your life.

LOL! I could actually see someone doing that!
I would hope that if someone goes with this, that they would also go with full bolt-ons and some weight reduction as well. If it were me..........I can't give up my interior, but I would definitely get as much dry carbon parts as possible (since money isn't an object in this scenario)!

He's talking about a crate motor rated at 500hp at the fly.

That's what I mean. Isn't the Boss 302 crate motor rated at 444hp at the fly w/o accessories? Why would a Z with 500hp @ the fly 'have its *** handed to them by a stock Mustang 5.0 BOSS'?

I think he was generally talking about a 500hp crate motor rated at 500hp with just the water pump vs. a 444hp boss rated at 444hp with all of the junk attached to it.

sure is -___-
This is basically a crate engine correct? I guess you could re-coup some of the cost by selling your old engine. What's it worth? $5k-$8k maybe. Still baller money.
